  1. in minnesota: step one Driver Vehicle Services and get a Title Search, costs about 4.00 shows all who owned it step two send certified mail to last owner listed stating your intention, when you get it back as undeliverable, take it to the courthouse. step three go to courthouse and file for abandon vehicle (if youre cheap you can file another form which delcares the 135.00 fee a hardship, and lets you file free). (vehicle has to have tabs expired for at least a year, but they dont seem to pay much attention to any of the requirements) step four Driver Vehicle Services, perform title transfer into your name, tabs/plates... get drunk and smash into a dumpster outside the liquor store
  2. the spring is a silly thing in this application. once the bolt it tight, no spring is needed.... tension by hand, tighten bolt FLING THE SPRING! be free! shed excess parts!
  3. had a 240 volvo that did the same thing just before the ignition switch went bad. ended up using a large safety pin, stabbed through the wires to turn it off and on.....
  4. go with electric fan(s)....... non A/C cars had only single fan
  5. bet arch is right, 2wd TOB on a 4x4 PP throw out bearing pressure plate
  6. much less stress there than i thought, eh? hmmm typical, i usually overbuild... bolts it is then!
  7. for the 2 part driveshaft on your ea82? did the 2wd to 4wd parts swap, but dont like the ideas i have to make a bearing mount short of going to the junkyard to get the stock sheet metal, what have you done to mount that thing and how much stress does it need to handle?
  8. a foot long 2x4 and the big hammer...... whack it and turn it then whack it again. either it will skid off the shoes or the shoes/hardware will give
  9. what color/year/trans/condition is that dark ea81 wagon?
  10. axe-man had military surplus big rump roast whip antennas, bare naked steel, round tip 12 footers.... no idea how you would tune it though
  11. secret self destruct initiation button (well it IS red....)
  12. when your ready to part with the rust-wagon, i will bring a pair of adjusting ea81 front struts assy's for you they have about 106k on em that i know of, and i replaced em just cause.......
  13. your old rusty wagon made a hollow low whistling sound when it was cold outside and so does the red wagon i got from you. i figured it was either the fan clutch or one of the belt tensioners lockin up havent found the source yet....... the FM microphone i tried picked up too much tinny noise, couldnt hear the odd sound........ still puzzled, and frozen
  14. if Barco Bearing is still alive they are on 26th by the bowling lanes.... ask for a trailer bearing: set 10 = 3.00 ask for a older VW front wheel bearing: set 10 = 15.00 ask for a saab rear wheel bearing: set 10 = 40.00 all same part number..... ask for bearings by part number :^ )
  15. check the carrier bearing on the drive shaft, in the volvos the rubber shrinks, then it kinda rolls around in there with the driveshaft...... makes a nice rubbery smell for a while also another handy method for finding hot smells is dive under while the car is still hot and stinky and feel the drive train... i like those cheap cotton work gloves from menards and the smell of cookin meat too
